Review-a-Day (What is Review-a-Day?)"[Gould's] approach to the game in the essays, reviews and reminiscences printed in this book is uniformly serious, even when he's joking. The best essays are those that play to Gould's strengths, when he meticulously and patiently demonstrates the operation of a theory, without any embarrassment about going into inordinate detail....Gould shows himself not just as a pointyhead trying to occupy his niche in the schoolyard, but as a genuine fan, complete with standard issue, all-American blinkers." David Horspool, The Times Literary Supplement (read the entire Times Literary Supplement review) Synopses & ReviewsReview:"The essays are uniformly wonderful....Gould could think, he could write, he was funny, and he loved, loved baseball." Booklist (Starred Review) Review:"[A] glorious testament to Gould's remarkable insights and passionate writing." Publishers Weekly Review:"[Gould] demonstrates the same gifts in this volume that his many books on natural history have evinced: an ability to discuss the scientific aspects of his subject in easily accessible terms while illuminating its larger social implications." Michiku Kakutani, The New York Times Review:"[W]ide-ranging and intelligent." Library Journal Synopsis:Science meets sport in this vibrant collection of baseball essays by the lateevolutionary biologist. 20 illustrations.
